In this day and age when everyone does their best to save the energy to save the planet and reduce the carbon footprint, it seems that the more people try to do this the more energy is consumed.
It is not as easy as doing your best to use energy saving solutions everywhere. There needs to be some planning and designing of the light fittings...
Note: the Illuma Shaker spots are no longer available; here are the existing spots from Illuma at Sparks.
It's Time to Use LED Spotlights!
Why use any other spotlights when you can use the LED spots?!? You can use compact fluorescent ones, metallic halides, or other low-energy solutions, but the absolute energy-saving solutions are the LEDs.
In the, Essential Steps to Energy Saving, we were recommending that the LEDs are the best solutions for reducing the carbon footprint and saving both energy and money.
When it comes to retail lighting or even lighting in the kitchen at home, in the office, in the study room, in displays, etc, it is recommended to use spotlights.
Remember: the LEDs are the most innovative light source for the 21st century!
Make sure you use LED spotlights and not high wattage and high power consumption spots!
Recent developments in efficacy (lumens per watt) and color rendering (CRI) have made LEDs realistic contenders for consideration by lighting specifiers.
Features and Benefits of IllumaLED spots
- Long Life: 50,000 hour life (average rated lamp life). This means 10-12 year average installation life (based on 12 hours per day). Also, there are lower service and maintenance costs and lower total ownership cost.
- Solid state components: The LED spots are robust and reliable lighting systems with a simple electronic control and are fully usable with switching/dimming / programming/sequencing.
- Small in size: There are varied optical control designs by reflectors and lenses which enables flexibility in product design, and there are performance-specific arrays available.
- Basic light characteristics: there are no ultraviolet components, no forward thermal component, and there's a continuous development of efficacy and CRI for job-specific solutions.
- Color Options: the LEDs come in a wide variety of single colors and also color changing. The Red, Green, Blue and Amber mixing provides a limitless color palette.
